Spain's Supreme Court on Tuesday provisionally lifted the arrest warrant against Catalan separatist leader Carles Puigdemont. The decision is linked to the amnesty, which the court says applies to his case and allows him to return to Spain. teraz.sk ↗
The warrant had been issued over Puigdemont's role in the failed attempt to declare Catalonia's independence in 2017. The former Catalan president then went into exile and lived outside Spain for approximately nine years. svet.sme.sk ↗
The Constitutional Court in Madrid also ruled in favor of an appeal by former Catalan minister Dolors Bassa against a decision of the Supreme Court. The latter had previously refused to apply the amnesty to the offence of embezzlement. The ruling also concerns two other Catalan separatist leaders, whose arrest warrants were likewise lifted. teraz.sk ↗
The Catalan separatist movement welcomed the decision. The Junts party described it as a victory for Catalan separatism, one that allows the return of the country's president. Oriol Junqueras, leader of the ERC party, said that after the application of the amnesty law, the next step is Catalonia's right to decide its own political direction. El Mundo ↗
Puigdemont can therefore return to Spain without fear of being detained on the basis of the lifted warrant. Further steps will depend on the application of the amnesty and on decisions of Spanish courts in individual cases. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
